Do you know "pão de queijo" ? It is a popular Brazilian Cheese bun made with tapioca flour. I made it using some Japanese ingredients. 

So, let's enjoy Brazilian cheese buns, with a Japanese twist !! 

 

 

 

How cute! Cute little green colored buns.  The color comes from Yomogi  (Japanese mugwort), which has been eaten as food and taken as a herbal medicine over long history. Read more about it in our blog article.

This recipe is used dried Yomogi powder to make it easier.

These buns are surprising! The cheese and Yomogi flavors complement each other really well.  Cheese and the Yomogi flavor are good match.

The light and soft texture of the buns coming from Shiratamako(glutinous rice flour) could give you a new experience. 

Let's start baking!
